"It was said that Gil would be a lot harder to obtain in Lightning Returns, but now it seems fallen enemies will drop it freely. Lightning's HP will no longer automatically recover after battles as in Final Fantasy XIII, however, if you prefer not to use items she'll slowly recover some just by standing around on the field. Other ways she can recover health include using items and utilizing an inn or restaurant – of course, these things are not free."

I guess even they realized they couldn't get away with both static health and scarce money.

Now if there was only a way for Squeenix to figure out a way to justify using an Inn or a Restaurant over chugging potions.

PS Forum France: "We've already seen some of the the main characters from the two previous games, are they going to play an important role in Lightning Returns? Will they become allies or opponents of Lightning?"

Toriyama: "Yes, certain enemies will reappear. One of these will be Caius, because at the end of XIII-2 there is an uncertainty that hovers around his destiny and whether he survives or not. This mystery will be solved in Lightning Returns."

"Despite this, they made no mention of whether we would actually see Caius again or if he is simply mentioned during the course of the story."

Also important to notice; "Of considerable note to Lightning Saga fans was a question regarding the "Lightning Ultimate Box", a very special edition of Lightning Returns which will include all three Lightning Saga games, a selection from each game's original soundtrack, and an art book. As a further bonus, it contains a variant version of the new Lightning Play Arts Kai figurine. This package is currently Japan-only and retails for about ¥26,000 (about €200/$263 respectively), but Kitase says it could make its way to the West if there's a demand for it."

Lolololol.

Sure, because there was any uncertainty left over after Caius forced Noel to kill him and to break the universe which then prompted his immediate revival with a diabolical Mwhahaha! to boot because the clown was an immortal Marty Stu.

Unless he's referring to the fact that they're retconning the ending of FFXIII-2, because it really really needed it.

Hell they've already brought Serah-chan back from the grave (twice) even if she's not quite the same character anymore, there's no way in hell they're not going to use the assets they made for Caius again.
